Is prostate cancer curable?

Prostate cancer is curable, especially when detected in early stages. If the tumor is localized, cure rates exceed 90% with treatments such as surgery, focal therapy or radiotherapy. In advanced cases, although it is not curable, there are very effective therapies that allow it to be controlled for years. Early detection is essential to increase the chances of cure. For this reason, periodic urological check-ups are recommended from the age of 50 (or earlier if there is a family history).
